  • PaulTron3000v5, on 06/27/2009, -6/+679***** this cat
  • wontonforevuh, on 06/27/2009, -4/+390Its easy, just start walling far away from the cat. If you try to wall in it too close, the cat will always get away.
  • greenpizza13, on 06/27/2009, -22/+305Piece of cake, got it on the second try.
  • SpeedyG, on 06/27/2009, -1/+177How about we link to the original:

  • ileftfark, on 06/27/2009, -5/+154I'm going to let this ***** sit in his claustrophobic tiny space for a while to think about what he did. Also, all the blocks are now dark green because I made him run back and forth in his tiny prison.

    ***** that cat
  • fyrewal, on 06/27/2009, -5/+132I WON! (holy ***** I wasted like 20 minutes on that...)
  • pointlessbanter, on 06/27/2009, -0/+119not much of a payoff when you get the bastard
  • Indyanna, on 06/27/2009, -37/+155Is it possible to do?
  • nullpass, on 06/27/2009, -10/+106Got him on the third try. Neat game
  • JonTheGoose, on 06/27/2009, -4/+98GOTCHA BITCH!!

  • Treshnell, on 06/27/2009, -7/+97It is possible, but I think a lot of it comes from luck of the draw. Get more pre-blocked cells and you have a better chance.
  • nard3456, on 06/27/2009, -12/+100This is hard and I'm getting pissed off.
  • marytormey, on 06/27/2009, -9/+94It's easy, you just use the circles that are already there to make sure the cat is detoured away from the sides. The cat only gets to move one space at a time so as long as you keep the cat turning it can't get away.
  • FTWmovin2canada, on 06/27/2009, -0/+81I got it on my third try... just stay close to the edge and cut the corners diagonally.
  • SilentKenshin, on 06/27/2009, -3/+69I got it on my first try and didn't even know what I did.
  • hydrokayak, on 06/27/2009, -1/+66I got it on the first try.

    Protip: This was on Digg about two years ago.
  • boydrew, on 06/27/2009, -1/+61yes but its dumb. you win and the game just resets. the game itself is simplistically awesome, but am i expecting to much for it to say "hey you win"
  • jshpro2, on 06/27/2009, -1/+59http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5256/trapped.pn ...
  • dawgma, on 06/27/2009, -0/+35Not really.. the best way to win is to place your dots far away, find out which way the cat is going, create a choke where you know the cat wants to exit and while the cat is making its way down to the choke you reinforce the circle. When the cat is about to enter the choke you block it and it has to run around the new perimiter you have been building.
  • moopie45, on 06/27/2009, -0/+34Got it around the 10th try, it is important to have a good setup...
  • LoudMusic, on 06/27/2009, -1/+35I beat it in two tries. It's inconsistently difficult based on the number of "freebie" dark dots.
  • GarageMann, on 06/27/2009, -1/+34You bitch! I had no idea what that meant!
  • Spinducky08, on 06/27/2009, -8/+39I did it. Didn't take that long either, maybe 30 seconds at the most on two tries.
  • ElGanyan, on 06/27/2009, -0/+31Took a couple tries to learn but then I beat it 3 times in a row... it just resets after you "win" so there really isn't any incentive to continue.
  • gaph2000, on 06/27/2009, -0/+29... then how did you lose the first time?
  • cubs0110, on 06/27/2009, -3/+31Also, you're a pretentious asswipe.
  • 343Guilty5park, on 06/27/2009, -0/+27All you need to do is start 3-4 squares away from the cat. Don't close anything until the cat gets close to a wall, just start making an alternating circle, i.e. use the existing dots to make an open-closed-open pattern until the cat gets close. This keeps you one step ahead
  • mdaize, on 06/27/2009, -1/+26It's not hard. Just don't focus on stopping the cat, focus on circling the cat
  • visionaryIX, on 06/28/2009, -1/+26I can't believe I'm doing this...

  • andrewlotta, on 06/27/2009, -0/+25I felt bad for the cat when I first circled him in, he looked sad when he couldn't find a way out... :-(


  • redwolfwalker, on 06/27/2009, -5/+27I haven't did it yet, but I suspect there are some gamers here, who will tell us if it can be done.
  • Herochan, on 06/27/2009, -0/+22Not too hard. You have to start the wall farther away.
  • roxgod666, on 06/28/2009, -1/+22Victory doodle

  • falco217, on 06/27/2009, -1/+21Tinypic fail.
  • HCviolence, on 06/27/2009, -1/+19Protip: Hit the outside circles first .
  • CanadaMan87, on 06/27/2009, -3/+21I got it without trying at all, I didn't even click the link - I'm that good.
  • insanebrain, on 06/27/2009, -2/+19yep. .. 2nd try was a hit :). . tip. . start at the outside and go inward.
  • redwolfwalker, on 06/27/2009, -1/+18That sounds ok, but the circles change with each game; I probably would need the assistance off some one directing me ..in other words, as of now, that cat is still too smart.
  • bcr8u, on 06/27/2009, -0/+15yep
  • uknowwhoibe, on 06/27/2009, -1/+16buried for using ***** tinypic
  • rpieszak, on 06/27/2009, -0/+15WTF, not even a congrats?!!

    Man, what a disappointment.
  • spazticmidget, on 06/28/2009, -2/+16Oh ya? i beat it without clicking
  • D3ltronZ3ro, on 06/27/2009, -0/+143rd or 4th try. Pretty easy. Or maybe lucky.
  • inactive, on 06/27/2009, -0/+14You DICK!
  • idiosyncrisia, on 06/27/2009, -1/+14Samesies. You just gotta draw the circle wide of the cat.
  • Davers, on 06/27/2009, -0/+13I did it on my second try. I would guess that some of the random-starting-dot configurations are, in fact, impossible and others are easy:

  • abyss478, on 06/27/2009, -1/+12@jman583

    does being a wiener about it pay off?
  • seanc6610, on 06/27/2009, -0/+11i did it, it took me about 10 tries, but everyone above me is right. i started all the way at the ends and tried to stay a couple of steps ahead
  • GreasyWalrus, on 06/27/2009, -1/+12I beat it!


    Maybe now my father will hug me... :(
